Vedder Tuesday ⅩⅥ
I asked my favorite adult human for help choosing today’s VT. He came through:
Undone
Last stop on the West Coast line
South of the northern border,
One small corner — home tonightEverybody, they know me there
Don’t get any second glances
Chances are that they don’t careThe world has come undone
Like to change it everyday
Change don’t come at once
There’s a wave building before it breaksCan’t wait for election day
Witness the occupation:
Corporations rule the dayWell, you know the pendulum throws
Farther out to the one side swinging
Has to sweep back the other wayThe world has come undone
Another day and who can wait?
Change don’t come at once
It’s a wave building before it breaksAll this hope and nowhere to go;
This is how I used to feel — but no more!The world has come undone
Like a game, if you can play
Change don’t come from one:
It’s a wave building before it breaks
Keep pushing the pendulum, dear friends. Don’t lose hope in hope. The wave hasn’t broken yet — but I’ve got my surfboard ready.
Back next week!

I always hear this “rue the day”. And I have time to think, “Why wouldn’t the corporations be pleased with that arrangement?” before I correct it in my head. I guess “rue the day” should have … some sort of auxiliary verb for futurity precede it (?) — then it would work?
OK, yes, re-treading old ground.

Ha! I can’t frakking believe I missed a “Josh, it makes much more sense to live in the present tense” joke the first time ’round.

My music collection is 2 for 2 on songs called Undone.

Mine too, but if that’s not true for anyone else reading, don’t sweater it.
